Simpler still, rotate the level 180 degrees relative to the bubble
offset and see if the offset shifts to the other side of the level.

Hi all,
Finally had some lightning when I was not at work, so I could capture
some. I think I got close to being hit after capturing this. When the
flash and the bang come together, it's time to get inside. Especially
when lugging around a tripod.

Dave, were you trying to buy your Tamron brand new? I am thinking you
were. I, OTOH, bought both of them (Tamron and Sigma) second hand having
asked for sample photos, etc. This is what I would recommend to any one
- either buy second hand with lots of sample shots or agree upfront with
the shop that you are going to come and cherry pick.
Having had that unfortunately encounter with ever soft brand new FA
50/1.4 taught me some lessons...

I feel your pain. I was 4 inches bigger around than when you saw me in May,
last year.
Working in a lumber yard has been very good for me.
I've ost 4 inches and actually gained some weight.
Calisthenics are good, but I don't think there is anything that replaces
physical work done at a pace that is manageable.
This is not to imply that you should jump into a job slinging 2x4s at Home
Depot.
Just sayin what was good for me.
I'll be 53 in November, and right now I am in better shape than since I was
in my mid 30s.
Take your gym membership money and remodel your house.
By yourself.
You'd be amazed at how soothing taking down a room with a wrecking bar and
Sawzall can be.
Sanding drywall mud is Zen.
Funny almost hurting oneself in a big way while taking pictures story:
I was out with my 6x7 one day playing street photographer.
Over Broad Street, which is 4 lanes wide at that point, is a railway line.
Broad does an underpass at the railroad..
So, there I was on this train bridge trying to line up a picture of a hotel
complex across from me.
And I'm wandering around with my 6x7 to my eye and I literally stepped off
the bridge, which inexplicably, had no guard rail or fence.
I managed not to fall by only stepping off with one foot rather than both,
but it was a very close call.
Get a dog.
Really. Get a dog that is big enough to walk with, Bichon sized or bigger.
Walking is excellent exercise for us, and is a good way of meeting a dog's
psychological requirement of migrating.
It's a win/win situation for both, though frankly I think we get the better
end of the deal with dogs.

Like father, like son. You're talented, Cotty and so is Stefan (I hope I

I should be keeping that picture of him sitting on that hmmm object by

May be this picture will prove useful for his memoirs one day ;-).

I would tend to think it is the camera/lens shake. The camera and the

Macs may not get viruses like that, but there are a lot of phishing schemes that bypass the computer altogether and work purely on social engineering. Also, if you're on facebook, it has become a very fruitful vector for malware. You have to be very careful of what you click "like" on, and you should never "click on this button to see the video we're talking about", or "cut and paste this into your browser to see the video".

Bit late replying, but I reckon WB's not far off. I always get stage shots a
little warm and the customers seem to like it.
I put one of them in LR3 and hit the B&W button with no adjustments. That
works well and would be good for the era of the show. Perhaps with a bit of
split toning? Also desaturating a little gives a nice vintage look too.
Of course, you did a good job of the shoot - they're also well composed and
lit and show the characters well. That's what the cast and director will be
looking for I'm sure...

I agree with Cotty here.
Also, indeed, it looks a little warm but it does not distract in any
way. In fact, it even can be considered fitting, as it makes the user
feel at home in a way, under their regular incandescent lighting...
Well done!

Subject: Photos on flat screen TVs
Message-ID:
I put together a slide show from the workshop my aikido dojo put on last month for the barbecue for the folks who volunteered on it today. It was shown on the large HDTV. The resolution is only 1920x1080, but the screen was probably 20x40 inches. I've got to say that there was something very cool about seeing my photos that large. It was also very cool not seeing them in an "I'm working on them" mode, and not necessarily knowing what was going to come up next. There were actually a few times when I had the pleasant experience of seeing one of my pictures and just getting the emotional response of "hey, that's a nice shot".
A friend of mine just dropped about $1200 on a computer monitor that wasn't much smaller physically, and probably had 2-3 times the resolution of the HDTV today. I could see that such a screen could be an entirely viable way of showing my photos, especially at a party.

There are all sorts of technical issues with this shot, especially since I had to crop it in fairly tight to get this composition, so while it may not be a "great" shot, I think it's a fun one, so I thought I'd share:

I know I should feel sympathy but, honestly - ten grand on a wedding
dress?

Very dramatic - the colour in the sky is wonderful. I don't suppose
there was much you could have done about the telegraph wires without
risking life and limb even further.
What's the small white patch just above the 'i' in 'Mountain'?

I'm guessing the price, of course. But the gown had multiple layers and some kind of elaborate silver bodice. Plus, the wedding was taking place in the area's most expensive venue. Three photographers and a video guy were shooting the bridal party. So it all looked like a lot of money was being spent. Ten K is actually a modest amount for a true designer gown. Nuts, but that's the truth of it.

Subject: PESO - Forest Music
Message-ID:
Went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago. The ceremony was performed
outdoors in a wood behind the reception venue. My photos were pretty
bland, but I did like this one I got of the fellow playing the music.
It was quite dark, but I used some fill-flash to bring him out a bit.
My question is: what do you think of the exposure? I'm concerned
that his white clothing is a bit overpowering. OTOH, there seems to
be enough detail. Thoughts?
http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2010/08/forest-music.html
Otherwise, if one didn't know the circumstances, I think it's kind of
interesting, almost absurd, that this guy's just out there in the
forest with a Strat and Fender Twin Reverb (like, where did he plug
in?). Comments welcome. Hope you enjoy.
cheers,
frank

They'd be wrong, it's entirely possible to build a larger one, see the
AN-224 for just how large an aircraft we can build.
The primary limitations on airliner size are infrastructure and
economics. Anything larger than the A380 can't fit into airport gates
(the A380 already can't fit into many gates) and the A380 pretty much
tops out the viable capacity for a single flight, there's just not
enough routes which need that much capacity and almost none which are
viable with a larger, more expensive aircraft.

I think you did well on the shot from what i can see. There is detail
in the whites and it seems to have at least some punch to it, from the
fill i suppose.

Hi all
On my recent trip north we stayed in a holiday park no more than 1
minute from the beach and each evening I promised myself that I'd get up
early to do some sunrise shots.
Unfortunately the spirit might have been willing but bed was too
comfortable....
I did manage to get to the beach one morning just as the sun appeared
over the horizon and I managed a few shots before the sky got too light.
This is a combination of two images, one exposed for the sky and the
other to retain colour in the foreground.

Comments, criticisms, clich? alerts all welcome!
Cheers

I agree with Larry.
A few months ago I bought a Roku box for streaming Netflix movies to
my TV. It turns out that both SmugMug and flickr have channels on the
box.
Even though I originally bought the Roku for viewing movies, I feel
like using it for photo viewing was easily worth the cost.

^^^ RC mini models racing in the big pool. I don't know who keeps the
record of winners but it's fun and kinds seem to be loving it too
despite of the politicians who use this event for propaganda. I
deliberately left out first day "opening" events for this sake. Anyone
got more photos of radio controlled model boats?

Frank,
Exposure looks good to me.
Photographing a black man in a white outfit isn't easy.
You have detail in both the face and clothing.

Or you could get them transferred to 25 ASA slide film and project them
6ft x 9ft - except that would highlight the lack of resolution, somewhat.

We have/had a reality TV show based on customers buying wedding gowns
at a famous New York shop. The prices were easily $5,000 plus and the
purchasers were never more than middle class. I couldn't believe it!
$10,000 - it's possible!

Three photographers and a video guy were shooting the bridal party. So it all looked like a lot of money was being spent. Ten K is actually a modest amount for a true designer gown. Nuts, but that's the truth of it.

I agree. I hooked a PC up to a 40" LCD TV and seeing the photos that
big is just stunning. At least, it is when the photo is decent. :-)
I also found that the color on the LCD TV is about as good as on my IPS
color monitor. In fact, the blacks on the TV are much deeper on the TV
than the monitor. Photos on the TV just look darned good, color wise.
And at normal viewing distance, 1080 lines is plenty for most stuff. And
the 40" TV cost about what I paid for the 24" IPS monitor.

The detail is there on the white shirt and trousers so the exposure is spot
on. Good contrast with the black skin tones. I might have squared it up and
lost the foliage on the right - but that would have cut a classic amp in
half, so maybe not...

The guy in the background is Jody, one of the black belts on the examination board. The person "framed" is Ken, who was taking his black belt exam, and the person being thrown is Devin, who was my training partner/coach for my brown belt exam about a month ago.

I agree that the thing that looks like a blurry oil rig doesn't help the last. I suspect that a simple recrop off the top, at about the current center line to put the jet skier at the lower right third would help with the last one.

Compose in the camera, or in the darkroom?
Most of my time doing photography, when I had access to a darkroom, my only glass was a 58/1.4 and a 2x tele converter. As a result I did a lot of "zooming", recropping and recomposing in the darkroom, and I've noticed that those habits carry forward a lot today. I'm very comfortable shooting with a prime, or if I have a zoom, shooting a bit wider than optimal, and doing my final recomposition in post processing.
I'm curious if other people who had a limited choice of focal lengths as they learned photography share this trait.
On the contrary, I'd guess that people who learned photography either shooting slides, or without access to a darkroom (or post processing software) are a lot more finicky about composing in the camera.
Or it could be that I'm just lazy when I know that if I blow it I can just fix it later.

It's always best to use most of the frame. When I was learning photography, 40 years ago or so, I had just four primes, a 35, 50, 135, and 200. I soon realized that even when I had my wider primes mounted, I was better off moving closer or mountint a different lens rather than cropping. You crop to perfect the composition, not to extend the focal length. Fill that frame!

I prefer to frame in-camera, even with a prime. But I'm also willing
to crop if a crop is needed. The main reason to fill the frame is
image quality, the more of the sensor/neg you're using the better the
IQ for the most part.

I find it a pleasant composition, and the reflection of the squares within the squares is entertaining. If I were to have a criticism it is that one thing that I try to bear in mind is my philosophy that photos are like sentences, the best ones have both a subject and a verb, and this one doesn't seem to have a verb.
If it were my photo, I would be inclined to try rotating it 90 degrees, probably clockwise, and/or converting it to black and white. I have no idea whether either of those would improve the photo, those are just things that I'd play with.

Thanks Sandy. Wonderful set of images of all over the US about the
time I was born. Fascinating!
In the comments section a few were asking about the film, that maybe
it was Ektachrome, as that appeared around 1940. As some of the shots
are on sheet film, I tried to look up at Kodak what the notching codes
were, but they only reference what they are currently producing.
Anyone still have their Photo Lab Index that can confirm the code is
for Kodachrome sheet film?

I certainly agree with you that it's best to get the framing perfect in camera. As I think about it, I guess I'm not as cavalier about it when I shoot as it may sound, it's just that when I'm processing, I'm more inclined to crop fairly radically if I think I see an interesting photo within the photo.

Back again,
Here it is with the light gone. I was kind of worried that with the
light gone, the eye might be drawn to the water droplet. (That blurry

On to the power lines, I'm thinking of just taking out the one that
crosses through the lightning, and leaving the others in. I kind of
like the idea of lightning and power lines in one photo. Once we start
cheating, I think it helps to dive in head first .

I wish I could do the same, but the slide is a harsh mistress and I seldom
succeed in getting that comfort. So I have some pictures ruined by not
enough 'cropping latitude' as you name it. For the same reason, now I hate a
100% viewfinder. 95% or the like is much better, as it can save your day.

Having considered both (and quite possibly getting the NEX-5 this
fall), the NX10 is a much less attractive camera than the NEX
The Sony's much smaller, has a significantly better sensor and
processing and is capable of adapting compact RF primes (the NX10
can't adapt M or LTM primes due to a poor choice in mount spec). The
NX10 struggles to match the m4/3rds cameras for IQ despite having a
larger sensor and more pixels, the NEX-3/5 have a clear advantage over
the NX and m4/3rds camera's at higher ISO's. If I was looking at the
NX10 I'd have a hard time choosing it over the IMHO distinctly
superior Panasonic G2 or Olympus E-P2 while the Sony, for all its UI
warts, compares quite well due to the better sensor.
Note I'm aware the NX10 shares the K-7's sensor. It's equally clear
that Samsung can't get anywhere near its full performance without
Pentax help.

I have no Lightroom expertise, although I can now start it, update the
catalog and make a collection to export as a simple web page.
BUT ...
I looked at the sample you posted. It looks like something I have
encountered in another program ... Nikon Scan 4.
I have a Nikon Coolscan IV ED. The software that came with it has
something called Digital ROC - which apparently stands for Restore
Original Color.
If I scan NEW film that IS NOT faded, and Digital ROC is turned on, I
get the same kind of magenta cast to my images that I saw in your post.

I prefer to compose in camera whenever possible. Sometimes I don't have

I learned photography with a 4.5cm lens on a Fujica rangefinder (made in
~1955).
To this day, I do none to very little cropping in post.
About the only think I've shown on list (ever) that has been cropped was my
recent pictures from the nice apartment, and they were cropped due to the
necessity of doing a little bit of perspective correction in post.
I discovered early on that I was too lazy to crank the enlarger up and down,
so I learned to get what I wanted in the viewfinder, since I would probably
not do it later.

Why not just use the white-balance eye-dropper tool on the guy in the
tux (#10 - 2nd from left, back row); sample the black bow-tie and then
synchronize all the others to that one?

Some really evocative photos there, and they underline how America has
changed in the last 70 years - at least as far as the image presented by the
movies and television shows!
This link prompted me to pull out my copy of "U.S. Camera Annual" from
1942: many of the photos in it could have formed part of the collection I
just saw, and they range in quality from the banal to the beautiful.
Thanks for posting,

There should be some rules about naming things: when you said you camped
near the A380, my first thought was "What's he doing down there? Torquay's a
long way from Farnborough!". Sorry, non-UK persons, reference is to English
road naming conventions...
Is the Vulcan still flying? I recall seeing both the Vulcan and the Victor
at Farnborough, probably early 60's: the lasting impression was how slowly
they seemed to fly, and the colossal noise they made on take-off!

Nice shots!
When did you go to Farnborough? I presume Sat or Sun? I was there all
week covering for Meridian Tonight. Didn't do any flying, all ground-
based filming :-(
We had an encampment near the A380:
and this was the TV platform on the Monday:
Hot sweaty week but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. We filmed
with the Vulcan for a bit on Friday and interviewed one of the pilots
who, it turned out, was the pilot that bombed Port Stanley's runway back
in the day!

That's not obscure. That's bloody inscrutable...
Are you referring to the wall which looks a bit like a set of
bookshelves? Or maybe the book that the person sitting in the distance

Message-ID: <1280723030.28852.1387834907@webmail.messagingengine.com>
G'day all
I couldn't afford one when they were new. I'm not even sure I can
really justify one now. Actually, I'm damn sure I can't justify one
now.
However, logic rarely enters into these sorts of decisions so I'm now
the proud owner of my own LX. Here's the little beauty:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1370864/lx.jpg
It looks in good nick and appears to be free of the sticky mirror fault
that I've read about. One temporary worry was the fact that the mirror
locked up when I tried out the slower speeds without any batteries
installed. However, breaking with habit and actually referring to the
manual I find that, without batteries, the shutter only works from X to
1/4000sec. So that's a relief.
Now, do I have any film still stashed away in the freezer?
Cheers
Brian

That's a concept I haven't thought of. Fascinating. But then, what kind
of verb would you attach to a still life photograph? I sure need to
think about that and digest that thought properly. Or you can say, I
need to grok it rightly.

Yes, and b/w tonality a-la Godfrey's work from the last year... I see
your point. Apparently, I shot it exactly the way I wanted it to be, but
I might have limited my reasoning to too few choices indeed.
Thanks!

Fruit sitting on a table? I suppose that in this one you could say "windows being". Does Hebrew have a "be" verb? Or I suppose you could say windows reflecting windows.
It isn't a perfect analogy, and there are some perfectly fine photographs that don't have a "verb", but in general I think that the best ones do.

Or that it is something for you to reflect on?

One of the things that I value about this list is when I post a picture and someone says "have you considered ..." and mentions something that I hadn't even thought of. I don't necessarily prefer their idea, but there have been a few times where it has made a substantial difference.

My pleasure. And thanks for being such a good sport about my suggestions.

the lack of 100% view means i crop even if i try to get it in camera.

I mean the habit to strictly compose in camera can turn into too tight
framing and an otherwise nice pic becomes a no-no. Example:
